Bucket List represents the intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. Our recommendations for this week are below, and the full list is after the jump. If you notice any events that have been left off the […]

It’s finally warm, and Columbia noticed. Yesterday was filled with Powwow, the continuation of the Divest protest, and outdoor merriment on the lawns. Birkenstocks abound, sunglasses were everywhere, and some people even broke out their rompers. We get it, Columbia. You haven’t seen sun since last semester (or maybe since Bacchanal, but who can remember that). And […]

Using Bored@Butler is like taking a shit: it’s an effective means of procrastination, it often happens in the Butler bathroom, and everybody does it, but nobody wants to talk about it unless they’ve accomplished something particularly impressive. I myself had heard of Bored@Butler as a sort of mythical creature, existing only in Bwog tips and conversations […]

A wildlife photographer has just captured two male lions getting it on. (Daily Mail) Ted Cruz got straight up ignored by his New York audience at the GOP Gala on Thursday. (NBC) Sarah Palin denied climate change again and said, “Bill Nye Is as Much a Scientist as I Am”… We say, “What.” (The Guardian) Beyoncé […]

Keeping in line with this week’s theme of mimicking bad content from other publications, we bring you our version of the real campus cutie you care about—the broody TA from your intro lecture. Name: You don’t actually know… You just know their UNI from emailing them at 11:50 PM the night before the midterm asking a […]

Dedicated patron of the arts and Bwog Arts Editor attended the Miller Theatre last night to watch a series of five dance performances featuring Columbia University and Barnard College students. There will be an additional show tonight at 7:30 PM; tickets are still available through Miller Theatre ($12 with CUID). I always love the experience of attending performances […]

New York City is packed with amazing culture and inspiring art, but sometimes it’s difficult to break the Morningside-bubble and experience it all first-hand. “Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/ theatrically-inclined on campus. Saturday, April 16 Balm in Gilead, 7:00 PM, Schapiro Theatre – […]

SGA has announced the list of candidates for this week’s online election (go to myBarnard, bears!) from 12 pm Tuesday – 12 pm Friday . The Candidates’ Forum will take place this Sunday, April 17th, in Diana LL103 at 4pm. You can hear speeches and ask questions.

Berniechella, a music festival in Old Town Coachella, California, has been scheduled to take place April 22 and 23. (CNN) Same sex penguin couple has been given the chance to build a life together. (Huffington Post) Visit any national park for free this week for National Park Week. (USA Today) North Carolinas new “bathroom law” presents complicated […]

This evening, Managing Editor Maddie Stearn had the opportunity to interview Lucas Zeppetello, SEAS ’16, one of the Columbia Divest for Climate Justice (CDCJ) protesters currently inside of Low Library. The interview was somewhat difficult to orchestrate (think Rapunzel), but the results were interesting to say the least. [Note: we usually reserve Late Night Bwog […]

Last night, a group of activists marched to “took back the night,” in our campus’s annual Take Back the Night event to raise awareness to end sexual violence. Bwogger Jessa Nootbaar was there to record the action, and she only wishes she’d been joined by more community members. When a member of Take Back the […]

Get ready, get rowdy, get ripped for…Rawcus 360! We sent Bwogger Finn Klauber to cover this roaring event, hosted annually by campus dance group Raw Elementz. Unfortunately, this was the only performance, but you can attend vicariously by reading this rave review. If you’ve walked through any part of campus the past week, you’ve probably […]

Have you had your fake ID, or your dignity, or both, damaged by the Mel’s bouncer? 100% of you should’ve answered “yes.” One brave Bwogger has a response. Dear asshole, I never thought I would have to write a letter like this after high school. I thought my days of dolling up for a man’s […]

Congratulations to Felix Qiaochu Jin and Zoey Poll for being named Valedictorian and Salutatorian for the class of 2016. Jin, a biochemistry and physics major from Rochester, N.Y., and Poll, an urban studies major from Los Angeles, have been awarded the highest academic honor by the university. Both have been committed scholars and have been […]

The weather’s been lovely lately, perfect for lawn lounging, Low Beach protests, and, tonight at 6 pm, Live At Lerner’s first spring concert, “Sounds Outdoors” on the sundial, featuring The Morningsiders and Ripe. We’re cozy with The Morningsiders, a campus band that graduated in 2014 and still uses Columbia’s neighborhood as its name. (They actually […]
